Hello Everyone,
Oh my gosh, time sure flies! I was on vacation and I had so much that I planned to do with my blog and unfortunately did not get to do much of it. I have worked on a few files.  Coming soon will be a cute match box.  It is a finished file but I want to decorate it before I post it.  I also have a french fry box that I used for candy treats for my daughters birthday.  I also have a rhinestone design that I will probably show this next weekend using the Funtime Rhinestone software and the cougar!  It is pretty awesome! 

For now though, enjoy this summer drink and flower svg!

I  have been able to work a little bit with my new Cougar.  It is a new machine that takes a bit of getting use to so I am still figuring out settings. I think that it is an awesome machine and once I get a little bit more comfortable with it, I will give my full review of it.

Hello Everyone,

Please let me know if you experience any troubles on my site, thank you.

Here is an old clasic notes style design!  Nested up a bit.  The svg file is designed in layers to make it easier to cut with your favorite cutting machine!

I have been lusting after an Ipad for awhile. This past weekend I discovered that Wal-Mart was making room for the new Ipad 2 that comes out tomorrow by reducing the price of the original Ipads 100.00. My sister let me use her employee discount so we were able to get an extra 10% off. Since Ipads never go on sale, I decided to go for it.

There is an app called RDP that allows you to connect to other computers on your network. I am now typing this out in Internet explorer on my IPAD. I have read that there is a way to setup RDP to run on 3G but I have not figured that part out yet. I was able to successfully connect the Ipad to my Windows 7 Desktop and design in inkscape, Make The Cut and Sure Cut’s Alot all from my IPAD. The RDP app is fully feature and allows you to drag and click. It takes just a little bit of getting use to but I loved it!

This is my first design from my Ipad so I wanted to keep it a bit simple.  I have to say that I think that this software app works well and it was super great not to be forced to sit in front of my actual computer.  This was entirely done sitting on my couch!

The svg, MTC, and SCUT2 files are in layers so that you can turn them on or off.

I finally got to use my Cricut Lite Carousel Cartridge.  I made a red and white Big Top cut out of vinyl for a circus themed display at work.  I had the blade depth on 6, pressure 2 and speed max.  I cut the base out in white, then the top layer out in red.  I used clear contact paper from Wal-Mart as transfer tape.  I picked up the red layer and attached it to contact paper.  Eyeballed the placement and attached it the white layer and the peeled off the contact paper.  It turned out great! I love vinyl!!
